Pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans: a case report and systematic review focusing on oral involvement.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans (PPV) is a rare mucocutaneous disease characterized by multiple pustules and it is considered a marker for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The oral manifestations of this condition are referred to as pyostomatitis vegetans (PSV). PURPOSE: To investigate which features could help in establishing the diagnosis of PSV, with or without cutaneous lesions, based on information retrieved from all cases of PSV described in the literature. A case of PV from the authors was also included in the analysis.
methodsAn electronic search was undertaken, last updated in August 2022. Inclusion criteria included publications reporting cases of PSV, with the diagnosis confirmed by the pathological examination of oral or skin lesions, and presence of IBD. RESULTS/
conclusionsSixty-two publications with 77 cases of PSV and an associated IBD were included. Features that are helpful in establishing the diagnosis of PSV are snail track appearance of oral lesions, an associated IBD (which is not always symptomatic), evidence of intraepithelial clefting on microscopic examination of oral lesions, and peripheral blood eosinophilia. A gold standard for the management of PSV does not exist and high-level evidence is limited. There is no established therapeutic protocol for PSV and management primarily consists of topical and/or systemic corticosteroids, antirheumatic drugs (sulfasalazine, mesalazine), monoclonal antibody (infliximab, adalimumab) immunosuppressives (azathioprine, methotrexate), antibiotics (dapsone), or a combination of these. The risk of recurrence of oral lesions is considerable when the medication dose is decreased or fully interrupted.
